Gabriel Kahane - Merritt Pkwy lyrics

I was on the side of the road Shiny traffic beetling by She picked up a box of my clothes Offered me a wash and a ride We collected clovers in a park Threaded them through our little fingers She pulled up her shirt and showed me the mark Where her father's snow white knuckle lingered And I say now what I said then Please let me forget you In some hot one gas station town Please let me forget you We came up with names for our kids Though we'd only met an hour before Names with an eastern european fit Frederick, Casimir, and Isidore At a seaside town we picked at our lunch Talking of family, the books that we'd read Back in the car, too nervous to touch She emptied a bottle of water on my head And I say now what I said then Please let me forget you In some hot one gas station town Please let me forget you
